It totally agree with you. MPs are being...Oh well. <br />It totally agree with you. MPs are being ordered by their party HQs to 'look modern', which means Twitter, Facebook, blogging etc, when most of them can't or don't want to. But it's so obvious when it's tokenistic.<br /><br />Tom Watson was a very early MP blogger - he's a bit of a plotter but basically a good guy. Paul Flynn was the very first MP to blog, and he's well worth reading because he's a maverick, and very intelligent. <br /><br />Bercow's wife is a Labour Party activist - which infuriates the Tories.The Plashing Volehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021407602157515927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153845628469776909.post-58708804324708377712010-09-21T12:36:57.354+01:002010-09-21T12:36:57.354+01:00Hullo.

Yes, well, I would fo...Hullo. My head hurts a bit.<br /><br />Yes, well, I would follow him, but the fact of the matter is that if he doesn't tweet, or access Twitter, it won't really matter. I doubt he'd even realise he had gained followers (unless he has email notification turned on - doubtful)<br /><br />I'm sceptical of MPs on Twitter. There's nothing worse than someone using it, not because they WANT to, but because they feel they have to, in order to show that they're "down with the kids" and all that shit.<br /><br />I follow Jo Swinson, who's very good at tweeting, tbf. I follow Nick Clegg - but only because he follows me back (smug). I follow John Bercows wife, coz she is well fit innit?<br /><br />I believe Dan follows his local MP, called Tom Watson (Socialist scum, and not the legendary golfer)<br /><br />So, yes.Ewarwoowarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01188994060142858403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153845628469776909.post-89744975090649499192010-09-21T10:45:23.546+01:002010-09-21T10:45:23.546+01:00Ewar, you gladden an old man's heart.

I just wondered if we could get several thousand people following Uppal as a satirical gesture - really push him up the rankings just to embarrass him.

You've taken the ball and by Christ you've run with it.<br /><br />I appreciate this is all a bit nonsense but its 1am and I've been drinking a bit. I'm just saying that I love the Paul Uppal posts, and you are great.<br /><br />Many regards.<br /><br />PS. I would follow him on Twitter but he doesnt tweet clearly.<br /><br />PPS.
